We've been using an old shoe to stop our bedroom door from slamming when the windows are open for years - I finally decided I'd had enough of the old shoe! I spent some time searching several sites and am very happy to have found this owl. He is incredibly cute and heavy enough to keep the door open. He looks very high quality.I noticed another reviewer said their cat was afraid of the owl - neither of my cats mind him at all. They looked at him once, gave him a sniff, and ignored him after that. Maybe they had enough of the old shoe too!I also got the Chicken door stop so the Owl wouldn't be lonely. I don't really have a 2nd door that needs a stop but they do look cute sitting together.

Wanted to use on a shelf or as a doorstop and give as a gift to a couple friends. He was cute on the front, wool as I had hoped. But aside from his cute front, he was a crinkled velour for the rest of his body. I just thought it made him look cheap, and had hoped the rest of his body was solid wool too. Again, he is cute if you aren't as picky as I am!.

My wife is nuts about owls, and she has a large collection of them. She has owls fashioned from many different kinds of material. This owl is unique among her collection, and she was truly pleased to receive it as a holiday gift.
